My buddy might turn into a …..

VESPA! Yes it’s a big maybe right now. I found a new Vespa on craigslist that’s super cute, and after a lot of digging to ensure that it is NOT a scam (I’m questioning the guy like crazy, my parents will be with me, and my dad will test drive it, IF we get that far) I might just get this scooter.

It’s quite cute; I can totally see myself on it. The top cases are three times as much though. It’s pretty ridiculous. I really like the white, I wish the Buddy came In that color. It used to come in a crème, but not anymore.

I’m still pretty much in love with the buddy. The buddy gets 90+ mpg, while the Vespa only gets 55mpg. That’s quite a difference. I’m still pretty set on the Buddy. I’m coming up with ideas to eventually paint it and personalize it. It will be the cutest scoot in town. Anyway, this Vespa is a possibility. They tend to hold their value pretty well, especially if you take good care of them. Surprisingly enough, a lot of people buy them and don’t ever ride them! They end up trying to sell them super cheap just to get them out of their garages ASAP, or so they don’t have to tow it with them when they move. They are very cute, I will admit.

It’s really weird, today I got all excited when I saw this guy riding a Yamaha Vino (50cc I’m guessing, because he wasn’t going too fast) on the way to school. They are definitely a one person scoot. There isn’t enough room for a passenger. I don’t like that. I’ve seen the Vino compared to the Buddy in a review before and everyone preferred the Buddy. Supposedly the Buddy is extremely comfortable and easy to ride. Well, I will be getting my scooter whatever it is soon, hopefully, so we’ll just see what I get.

Ciao!
